We Have Been Busy!

Dave was able to pick up some overtime at work and that left me with a lot of free time. The job search is still a work in progress unfortunately. I thought I had a great preschool teaching job...it was a flop. I can't complain though, much to Dave's amazement I still find ways to fill my days...

Home cooked meals. This is a new thing for Dave & I. We are enjoying this little game and it seems to still be going strong after almost 3 months! 

In case you were wondering this masterpiece is Taco Pizza. Delicious.

Taco Pizza

• Pizza dough-I used a refrigerated package...for you overachievers go ahead make your own:)
• 1 can refried beans
• Salsa
• Ground beef mixed w/taco seasoning packet
• Cheddar cheese
• Diced tomatoes
• Sliced avocados
• Iceburg lettuce
• Sliced olives
• Ranch

Bake dough at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile mix can of beans with about 1 cup salsa. Spread over cooled dough. Brown meat and mix in seasoning packet. Sprinkle over top of bean/salsa spread. Next, sprinkle cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes or until crust looks golden. Let cool and top with chopped lettuce and other taco toppings. Drizzle ranch dressing on top.

Another craft. My laundry room area was bare so I found some paper with my favorite design and made a little sign. I thought it turned out pretty cute...Dave wants to know if I will ever branch out from black and red. It isn't looking promising! 

Dear Hobby Lobby...you make me so happy and you drive my husband insane:) They had an 80% off sale on home decor. YES I said 80%!! I found fun things that were of course under the category of need in the budget. Thank you again because now my desk corner is no longer bare...

  and I was also able to finish my guest bathroom. It is so pretty now:)

Oh and one last BIG thank you for this pretty pot for $8!

It was a good weekend redecorating and crafting. Although those events were enjoyable they didn't exactly do it for me. I had to go and do this...

GROSS!!!! I got a huge steam burn from draining spaghetti. We were having the missionaries over for dinner and I was in fast mode. My skin literally melted. Nurse Dave is fascinated by it. I woke up to him trying to touch it! Naughty boy!

Dave has four days off this week and we are Albuquerque bound to go to the temple. I am very happy hopefully my finger doesn't get the best of me until then!!
